By JULIA BLANSHARD New York, May 22—1In addition to all the responsibilities that face to- day’'s youngest generation comes the new and somewhat paradoxical job of bringing up its parents. So says | Rebecea Lowrie, wlho, as an author land teachers, understands children ! and oldsters alike. | This course of parent education, she says, necessarily must be taken | {up by parents themselves, through 'a willingness to study and respect | their children’s personalities. The idea struck home to Mrs. Lowrie during the ten vears she | was reading manuscript in a large publishing house. Millions upon mi| lions of words—biography and semi- | blographical fiction—revcaled that nearly all of the tragic mistakes of grewn-nps are traccable directly to a childhood marred by wrong treat- {ment or lack of understanding on the part of their parents. | | Thwarted Thought “Modern psychologists- would do | well to found a school for parents | where a little child should lead them,” she declared. “There is, for | instance, that prime fault of over-| | zealous parents who ignore a child’s inalienable right to keep things to himself. ' | “We respect adults for whatever | measure of reserve they may main- | {tain, yet we seldom allow a child to. lontertain any unvoiced thoughts. | “It that ehlld feels the Kind of bond between himself and adults that makes him want to chat about his inner thoughts, he just naturally | | will do s0.

MORRIS FISHBEIN) Cditor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygcia the Health Magazine Because of the increased attention given to the care of the child in modern times numerous agencies have come into the fleld to advise mothers regarding fundamental problems. The University of Minnesota, in connection with its general exten- sion division, provides a course on child care and training. The les- sons taught in this course are fun« damental, In agreement with many other authoritative sources, the instruc- tion emphasizes the importance of carly years in establishing a sound mind and body for the future. Thas period from birth to six years is in general the most rapid period of Erowth. Rapid Growth During the first five to six months of its life the normal baby doubles its weight and by the end of the year trebles its weight. Tt it kept up the same rate of growth to tha age of 10, it would weigh 136,900 pounds. The fact is interesting, but since no child ever keeps up at thig rate it does not mean anythin, Of all of the deaths in the United States, one-third occur before the human being is six years of age, and the majority of these occur one year fter birth. Ninety per cent of tha ases of measles and whooping cough occur under the age of five, Sixty-nine per cent of children be« {low the age of six have defects of the nose and throat. The mental habits developed he< fore six years of age are those which the child will carry through life. Tn this period he establishcs language, thought process, and quently mechanical skill, Tn this period he may be apoil-d 50 as to respond to correction with tantrums or fits, or he may learn to adjust himself to living with other human heings in comparative com- fort and calm. Correction and Control Many parents will say of a child it s lunder six years of age that stubborn. shy. quarrelsome. affec- tionate, truthful or deceitful. Al of these characteristics are subject ito correction and control, particu- {larly if given proper attention in {the formative period. Of course the child is marked to some extent by hereditary factors, but environment is of great im- portance and proper attention can do much to modify the growing { child. {Children Conduct Own Services in Church New York, May 22 (® — Vying with dancing lessons and tutorship {in ¥French for the attention of chil« dren in onme neighborhood of New |York is a speclal Sunday morning Arranged exclusively for’ juniors, the service conducted by the Church of Heavenly Rest and Beloved Dis- {ciple is completc even to passing {the collection plate.
